rush to score

"This is today's match list." In the corridor on the second floor, Lu Simiao handed the list to Peng Jianxiu and yawned, "Coach, I just flew back from abroad, so you dragged me over to watch the game early in the morning , isn’t it a bit inhuman?”

"Hmm..." Peng Jianxiu ignored him and studied the battle table in his hand.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Lu Simiao curled his lips, and went over to look at the battle table with Peng Jianxiu.

"I knew that Lu Mingchuan must be number one, hehe." There was a cunning in his smile.

Peng Jianxiu slapped him on the head: "I lost to a rookie who hasn't joined the team yet. I didn't mention you last time in Senhai. You're quite proud now, aren't you?"

"Losing to Lu Mingchuan is not losing to a rookie!" Lu Simiao's baby face was wrinkled, "He's obviously older than me, right?"

Peng Jianxiu put on a smirk: "Yes, he is a few months older than you, and he hasn't entered the national team for training yet."

Seeing that something was wrong, Lu Simiao quickly changed the subject, his eyes were drawn down from above, and he suddenly let out a "huh".

"Why was the one called Liang Xi beaten last time? Who is... Lu Hongjun? Why is this name so strange? Could it be a dark horse?" Lu Simiao looked at Peng Jianxiu, his eyes With inquiry, "Coach, if he wins, do you want Liang Xi or him?"

Although the trials are a means of screening, in the final analysis, as the head coach, Peng Jianxiu has the greatest decision-making power. If he thinks it is necessary to recruit someone, he can have various reasons.

However, if Liang Xi really loses the game, will Peng Jianxiu make an exception for him?

Lu Simiao knew that this possibility was very small.

After all, Liang Xi has just returned to China, and Peng Jianxiu only paid attention to him after watching one or two games of him. Although good seedlings are rare, Liang Xi is not yet indispensable.

Thinking of this, Lu Simiao sighed - from a personal point of view, he still likes Liang Xi very much.Not only because of his skills, but also... Lu Simiao admits that he is an out-and-out face dog.

Regardless of gender, he couldn't help giving points to good-looking people.

Peng Jianxiu didn't answer his question directly, but asked thoughtfully: "Do you think Liang Xi will lose to that kid named Lu Hongjun in the knockout round?"

"...It's hard to say." Lu Simiao replied very conservatively.

In the knockout round of the U-shaped battle table, the top ranked and the bottom ranked play the knockout round. After the first few games, there is usually little change. No accident, the top ranked wins the game.

Liang Xi had a total of three games in the morning. The first two games were 32 to 16 and 16 to 8. These two games were played very easily. The strength of the opponent and Liang Xi was very different. After two games, Liang Xi gradually regained his rhythm.

To be honest, the loss to Lu Hongjun the day before really made him a little nervous. Before he played today, Liang Xi was still thinking about Lu Hongjun's score yesterday.

However, Lu Mingchuan's words were also deeply imprinted in his mind. The man said let him fight hard and don't think about those messy things.

The "mess" here refers to the matter about his breakup on the one hand, and of course the loss to Lu Hongjun on the other hand.

To be honest, since returning to China, Liang Xi has heard too much about Lu Mingchuan and his girlfriend. From the beginning, his emotions were led away by him. Now, Liang Xi feels that he has become a little numb, so even if he heard " The news that Lu Mingchuan broke up" caused only slight turmoil in his heart, and was quickly suppressed.

If you break up, just break up, if you can have a girlfriend, there is a high probability that Lu Mingchuan will not be gay.

Besides, the two of them have come to this point, even if Lu Mingchuan agreed to be with him, Liang Xi still has a lot of worries in his heart. It is impossible for him to dedicate his blood to an uncertain future like he did when he was fourteen or fifteen years old. .

Everyone has to grow up, how many ideals are worth the reality?

To this day, being able to hold a sword in one's hand is very rare, and Liang Xi no longer asks for extravagance.

The last game in the morning was 8-for-4, and the opponent's defense was very tight. It was not easy for Liang Xi to score points. The two of them stuck together for the whole game. Until the 9-minute time limit, they still didn't hit 15 swords. With a score of 13:9, Liang Xi won the game with a small lead.

"This morning's game is over. All players can go back to the room to rest. Before noon, the match list for the afternoon game will be distributed to everyone." The staff was very conscientious and took everyone out.

There were more than 30 contestants with different expressions. Some of them were depressed because they lost the game, and some of the contestants in the lower ranks were upset and overwhelmed with joy.

Some families are happy and some are sad, that's probably the case.

Liang Xi's gaze swept across the crowd, and once again put Lu Mingchuan in the center of his sight... It wasn't that he did this intentionally, Liang Xi decided to attribute this behavior to a habit.

Lu Mingchuan's height of nearly 1.9 meters is really conspicuous. He is afraid of heat, so he pulls off the collar of his protective clothing as soon as he is on stage.

Across the crowd, the eyes of the two met. Lu Mingchuan stroked back his sweat-soaked hair, and walked towards Liang Xi. The sword in his hand lightly touched Liang Xi's calf twice: "Foot How's the wrist?"

"……fine."

The two of them talked like they were biting their ears, Liang Xi took two steps back calmly.

He has already noticed the lingering eyes of the players around him. Lu Mingchuan himself is a luminous body, and Liang Xi has been found out since yesterday's match table was revealed that Liang Xi is the rumored "returned player". On the field, he "enjoyed" enough the probing eyes from all directions.

Lu Mingchuan was not the only one who came to look for him, there was also an annoying Lu Hongjun who came from nowhere and put his hands on Liang Xi's shoulder: "How about it, did you win the game in the morning?" He half-smiled True and half false.

Liang Xi suddenly felt like bird droppings fell on his shoulder, and he pushed Lu Hongjun's hand away: "I won."

"Oh! I won too." Lu Hongjun didn't seem to understand Liang Xi's refusal, and he approached him familiarly again, "If that's the case, no accidents, the next match should be the two of us."

Lu Mingchuan ranked first, ranked fourth in the battle, Liang Xi ranked third, and played against Lu Hongjun, who ranked second.

Sometimes it is said that fencing is a sport that inherits dueling, and it is actually true.

A knockout match in fencing is also known as a single elimination match.Two people duel, one person loses, and if you lose, you are out. There is no second chance. To use one word to describe it is "you live or die".

Liang Xi was too lazy to respond to Lu Hongjun's provocation, but the man kept talking. Finally, Lu Mingchuan seemed to be unbearable by the side, and inserted between the two of them, separating them.

He was not as good-tempered as Liang Xi, so he immediately uttered a national curse at Lu Hongjun, and then told him to shut up and go back to prepare for the game.

"I know your family's conditions are not very good, and it's not easy for you to come out. If you have time, do more research and research technology, and strive to have the opportunity to join the national team next year." Lu Mingchuan's sentences hit the key point, and Lu Hongjun's eyes turned red when he heard it.

The contestants next to them were afraid that they would have a conflict, so they hurriedly dragged them away, and then persuaded Liang Xi a few words, which broke the situation.

Liang Xi followed Lu Mingchuan, thinking about something in his heart, and couldn't help but suddenly said: "Lu Hongjun's mouth is a little off, but he actually played well."

Lu Mingchuan pulled him into the elevator and pressed the number on the top floor: "Are you afraid?"

"...Well, maybe I'm a little nervous." Liang Xi nodded honestly, "I've been thinking about yesterday's game this morning. He won me once, but I don't want a second game."

In the end, Liang Xi shrugged his shoulders, and before Lu Mingchuan could speak, he added: "I can't afford to lose, you already knew." When he beat Lu Mingchuan, he always used this sentence to scold him, and Liang Xi's ears were quick to hear it. Cocoon, at first she would argue with Lu Mingchuan, but now she decides to directly admit that she just can't afford to lose.

Lu Mingchuan choked on him, and frowned dissatisfied: "That's all."

Having said that, after the two quickly finished their lunch, Lu Mingchuan still pulled Liang Xi into the living room, and the two faced each other with their swords facing each other. Even though they were wearing ordinary casual clothes, Liang Xi had no intention of being afraid at all. .

"Although Lu Hongjun's attack looks ferocious, it actually has many flaws." Lu Mingchuan ticked Liang Xi with his free hand, "For example, the sword you threw...you attack me, and I will restore it to you." Take a look at the scene."

Seeing that Liang Xi didn't respond for a long time, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Niannian, stab me, why are you so dazed?"

"... Oh." Liang Xi seemed to have just come out of his own world, and he stared at Lu Mingchuan's deliberately exposed chest.

That familiar address lingered in his ears, as if passing through a long winter, summer came suddenly, with the familiar chirping of cicadas and warm wind.

It made Liang Xi's nose sour.
